  1. My experiences: Absolutely go for airbrushing, it will open a new dimension in modeling to you. Invest in a good compresor (with water trap) rather than a fancy airbrush. I have two high-end double acion ABs from my airbrush illustration era, and have almost never used them for my model work. My workhorse is a Badger 350 (about 40$), easy handling & cleaning and unbreakable. Check out my models here, all painted with the badger and Tamyia acrylics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/romansland/collections/72157628084123703/
  2. x2 The same could be said about sea-based carriers.
  3. Last week I was hiking in the french Alps, and while on a hiking path at 1200 m, I had the pleasure of witnessing two Mirage 2000 making a pass through the Canyon of Verdon below me (the valley ground is at 900 m at this point). The area is not totally unpopulated, so I'm not sure this was a regular drill, but it was an awesome "Chevaliers du Ciel" moment.
  4. From what I get from the trailers, the Prometheus goes into pursuit of the Alien ship right after it's takeoff from the underground base and rams it while still in the atmosphere, so I think it all happens on the same planet.
  5. Picture rush! Speaking of 2001: Prometheus glory: Are there streets on the planet? And this one is a real mystery. Note the injury.
  6. Wow the russian dub makes it even eerier! And the David video has a certain 2001ish feel to it. Great stuff.
  7. http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/looper/ Bruce Willis traveling in time again, and it looks very promising.
  8. Well, it's still bigger than a 1/72 F-16 kit.
  9. Am I the only one who thinks that the film hasn't aged well and would already be forgotten without the Arnie cult factor? Just like the PKD story, it had a brilliant concept, but lacked in execution. I don't expect the new film to be any better, but at least it has Jessca Biel's assets.
  10. The Bandai kit of the Falken isn't too bad See also this thread.
  11. Shame on you, Hasegawa. Where's my ADFX-02?!
  12. So did I get this into the right order: Shaw is apparently still on the ground when the SJ ship is launched, the Prometheus goes into pursuit, and just before it rams into the alien ship, an escape vessel (with Vickers on board) it jettisoned. Vickers joins Shaw, then the SJ ship crashes? Then we could have a similar ending with Carpenter's "The Thing"...
  13. Anubis/HD edition of the Kotobukiya Jehuty
  14. 80% Gadessa Designed by Windfall.
  15. Sure is, but the important thing to note is that he is not fully grown yet (still human sized?)
  16. The Alien bits we see in the latest trailer seem to be more of a fishy/wormy nature so far (watch the autodoc scene). But then there's also the infant space jockey and the "engineer"/Voldemort in a Giger rubber suit.
  17. Galactica: Salvation meets the Cloverfield Monster at the Gun on ice planet Zero?
  18. You know what to do:
  19. Check this out: http://www.hlj.com/product/ROB72025
  20. It's an inverted X-Wing!
  21. I looks like there are Xenomorphs in Prometheus, at least hints to them
